Basement Remodeling
Basement Finishing Experts
While not all Portland-area homes have below-grade living space, many that do are un- or partially-finished, or suffer from outdated design and poor space planning. This is why we love doing basement remodels. There is so much opportunity to increase a home’s usable space and customize it to the owners’ interests and style.
If having so many exciting possibilities feels overwhelming, working with a design-build firm can help. We ask the right questions to guide the planning process and ensure your needs are addressed. Our team then stays with you throughout the remodel, coordinating the many specialists involved and troubleshooting if any surprises arise during the project.
Creating a Functional & Beautiful Lower Level
There are so many great ways to use a basement. Consider your family’s interests, hobbies, and activities when planning a lower level redo, which may include:
- Home gym
- Crafting or sewing room
- Theater / media room
- Family room
- Guest rooms
- Kids bedrooms
- Sauna
- Laundry room
- Home bar
- Wine cellar
- ADU
- Rumpus room
